In
the 1860's my great-great grandfather, Balser Lark, settled around
the lake, which we now call Lark's Lake. Balser had a daughter,
Matilda. She married Edwin Schlosser, the son of Valentine Schlosser.
Valentine, my great-great grandfather, lost his right hand at
the Battle of Piedmont, during the Civil War.
After the war, he settled on Lark's Lake to farm. In 1894 Edwin
and Matilda had a son named Arthur, my grandfather. Both Edwin
and Arthur worked at the nearby lumber camp, then known as the
Moose Jaw Lumber Camp.
So, in honor of our family's hard work and dedication to this
area, we have named this establishment Moose Jaw Junction.
On any given day, our "locals" can be seen at Moose
Jaw. Their last names, too many to mention, tie them to the history
of this area and our establishment. Generation after generation
has helped build this community, as well as support Moose Jaw
Junction. We would like to thank them all.
Your friends, Kevin & Jennifer Kruzel, Danielle, Kayla
and Sam
